Syria-Bashar al-Assad is a big hindrance in trying to move forward

The US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley says that Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad is a big hindrance in trying to move forward to find an end to the country’s 6-year conflict. Also, Iran is a big hindrance when it comes to ending the conflict in Syria. the only reason for Assad to have an upper hand in this conflict is the support from Russia, Iran and the Hezbollah from Lebanon. Without the foreign terrorists, Assad would have been toppled at the beginning of the conflict. It is about time USA and Russia come together and find a better solution, but the issue of Assad is going to be there.

U.N.- led peace talks are currently being held in Geneva. Haley said U.N mediator Staffan de Mistura desperately wants the United States to be part of finding a solution to the conflict in Syria. When you have a leader that are willing to use chemical weapons on his own people you must ask yourself if that is someone you can work with. Assad has, of course, denied using chemical weapons but if that is the case, who is dropping these bombs? Haley stated that if we don’t have a stable Syria, we don’t have a stable region and it is only going to get worse. An unstable middle east region is a threat to the whole international community and it is very important to find a solution to it.But to get a stable middle east we must get rid of the Iranian presence in Syria, that is the only solution to the conflict. The Syrian opposition said Thursday it rejected “any role” now or in the future for current President Bashar al-Assad. The opposition will never accept any role for Bashar al-Assad at any phase... there will be no change in our position,” said Monzer Makhos, a spokesman for the opposition High Negotiations Committee, composed of key Syrian opposition groups in Geneva.
